The Underground Sea and Gitaxian Probe in hand were red herrings. The Gitaxian Probe is an efficient and useful way to trigger Maniac or draw Mental Note, but it is unnecessary here. It’s main purpose is to serve as pitch fodder for Misdirection. It was included to have people explore solutions in which Probe is used to dig into the Doomsday pile or trigger Maniac, and was a red herring.

Similarly, Underground Sea was here as a life-free way to generate mana, and to get you to think it was therefore a useful line of play. Both cards were here to expand the lines of play to make your analysis more difficult, illustrating the real-life complexity that additional lines of play bring to the Doomsday pilot.
